I will make you feel secure and at peace while away from your home

About this sitter

Hello, my name is Kate. I am an experienced pet owner/carer and have been fortunate to share my life with a variety of animals over the years, including dogs, cats, and even a bunny named Carrot, who was my first childhood pet.

My experience with fostering pets started several years ago, when my friend found a 1-month-old kitten on the street and rescued it, but was unable to keep it in her home, so she asked me to foster until we find him a permanent home. I named the little guy Simba (original, I know!) and took care of him for 3 months before finding him a permanent, loving home. Since then, I have taken care of my friends' dogs when they were away, including a sleepy pug named Dobby and a lively cockapoo named Biscuit. You can see photos of me with Dobby&Biscuit on my profile.

I am originally from Croatia, now I live in Manchester, UK. I am a student at Open University, and all of my learning is done remotely, so your fur-baby will have plenty of company, pats, and love throughout the day.

I am clean, respectful, and quiet. My ideal evening is spent with a good book and a cup of tea. I maintain a tidy and clean home, and I will treat your home with the same level of care and respect as I would my own.

Thank you for considering me!

Why they want to house sit

I want to house and pet sit because I absolutely love animals, but unfortunately, I’m unable to have pets of my own at the moment. Spending time with animals brings me so much joy, and pet sitting gives me the opportunity to care for and bond with them while helping owners feel at ease knowing their pets are in good hands.

I also study online, which gives me the flexibility to stay in different places while ensuring pets receive plenty of attention and care. House sitting allows me to combine my love for animals with my responsible nature, all while maintaining a stable and comfortable environment for both the pets and their owners.

What can they bring to the assignment

I bring a strong sense of responsibility and reliability to pet sitting, ensuring that pets receive the best care possible in their owner’s absence. I follow care instructions precisely, making sure pets are well-fed, exercised, and comfortable in their routine. With experience handling animals, I understand different pet behaviors and can quickly recognize signs of distress or illness. I also provide companionship and affection to help reduce anxiety, keeping pets happy and engaged.

Cleanliness and safety are a priority for me, and I make sure their environment remains tidy and secure. Additionally, I keep owners updated with messages, pictures, or videos, so they have peace of mind knowing their pet is in good hands. If any unexpected situations arise, I remain calm and adaptable, handling emergencies or behavioral challenges with care and efficiency.
